Hey
I am currently enrolled as an Economics major at A&M and was hoping to transfer to the McCombs School of Business my sophomore year (Fall 2011). I’ve noticed that it is required to take Calculus I & II and wanted to know if anyone has had experience in this because I am not sure which math classes at A&M would be considered “Calculus I & II”. I was hoping that there may be a student on here who has gone through the same process that would know this but if not I’ll be happy to post the courses and course descriptions of the math classes at A&M.
Right now I am enrolled in MATH 141 - Business Math I
and I was going to take MATH 141 - Business Math II second semester…

another question I have is if the 30 transferable hours that you need to transfer include AP credited hours.

I’ve sent an email to UT about this too, however maybe I should send one with the courses i’m taking to make sure they will all transfer…

any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: I just was looking at the course catalog and the engineering math classes seem to fit Calculus I & II (I think I remember reading somewhere that McCombs wanted Integral and Derivative Calculus covered…maybe)


Engineering Mathematics I. (3-2). Credit 4. Rectangular coordinates, vectors, analytical geometry, functions, limits, derivatives of functions, applications, integration, computer algebra (Maple). Prerequisite: MATH 150 or equivalent. Credit will not be given for more than one of MATH 131, 142, 151, and 171.
Engineering Mathematics II. (3-2). Credit 4. Differentiation and integration techniques and their application (areas, volumes, work), improper integrals, approximate integration, analytic geometry, vectors, infinite series, power series, Taylor series, computer algebra (Maple). Prerequisite: MATH 151 or equivalent. Credit will not be given for both MATH 152 and 172


and here’s what it says for business math:
Math 141 Business Mathematics I: Linear equations and appli-
cations, linear forms and systems of linear equations, matrix algebra and applications,
linear programming, probability and applications, statistics.

Math 142 (MATH 1325) Business Mathematics II. (3-0). Credit 3. I, II, S Derivatives, curve sketching and optimization, techniques of derivatives, logarithms and exponential functions with applications, integrals, techniques and applications of integrals, multivariate calculus.
